According to http://members.tripod.com/estegosaurio/bandera.htm,

october 2000, for commemorating 179 years after the fondation of
Durazno. Flag drawn by the architect Andrés Martínez Bruno, who won
the competition among 249 projects. the light blue stripes stand
for the local rivers Yí and Negro.
Olivier Touzeau, 15 Jan 2001
The flag has been designed on a blue background; the meaning
is that a great twelve-pointed star, surrounded by 18 smaller
six-pointed ones represents the central geographical position
in the country of this department, which was founded on October
12, 1821. The rest of the stars represent the remaining
departmentes in which the country is divided. Inside the star
a lamp is shown, representing light and energy, and also hopes
for the future. The light blue lines represent the rivers Yi
and Negro (black), which surround Durazno’s territory.
